Great father/son trip!
5/5
The wind didn’t cooperate so we couldn’t get offshore, but we made the best of it and Capt Tony got us on some snapper pretty quickly. My son’s first fishing trip in the Keys was a blast, even got on a barracuda and black grouper. Great all around trip, strongly recommend.

My father and I enjoyed a great day out reef fishing with Captain Hennessy! Caught a black grouper on opening day and a whole bunch of nice yellowtail snapper. Loved the boat and team - thank you for a great day. We will be back !!

Mangrove Massacre

Captain met us right on time and after a short ride into the bay limited out on mangrove snapper. We also caught red and black grouper we had to release and nice legal sea trout. I’ll probably re-book next year.

The boat was very comfortable and easy to get to. The captain and mate were very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. We were the first boat out there and we caught several mahi mahi and even released a black grouper on the way in. I would recommend them for charter.

Awesome guy and awesome time!!
5/5
Had a great time out on the water!! The water was too rough to go off shore, but we were able to fish some reefs and caught some keepers!! We caught a mix of mangrove snappers, yellow tail snappers, mutton snappers, red groupers, and black groupers. Dan is an awesome guy with a great playlist!! Super fun time, can’t wait to come back and fish with him again in the future!!
